Wedding in Chia

Who needs travelling to the Caribbean when you have got Sardinian beaches like Tuerredda?

And a great way to start summer: scenic wedding on the beach, great party afterwards and, icing on the cake, a couple of days to spend on stunning beaches.

After having seen the north of Sardinia, Santa Teresa, Alghero and Maddalena years ago as well as Villasimius in the south more recently, once again a great time in Chia. Looking forward to the next teaching invitation - else I would need to plan a real holiday around Oristano. Tough.

And Cagliari is always a pleasure, even when being there for the fifth time. Will 2014 be in the records as the year of repeating the good stuff discovered in the past? Best ice cream in town in Piazza Yenne, best ciccioneddas alla campidanese and saffron meatballs at Sa Piola, best views from Libarium at Bastione Santa Croce. Unfortunately my favourite Ristorante 51 no longer serves the great fish I had come to appreciate a few years ago. No problem: new addition to the list: Luigi Pomata and his tuna tartare on a bed of cream of buffalo mozzarella (!).
